Know your customer.
Before they know your risk.

Kycanvas automates identity verification, AML screening, and ongoing monitoring for neobanks, crypto platforms, and high-risk fintechs — so compliance teams spend time on decisions, not data collection.

Kycanvas provides automation tools to support your compliance program. Use of Kycanvas does not constitute legal or regulatory compliance certification.

From applicant to decision in three steps

Kycanvas connects identity collection, verification, and AML screening into one automated workflow — with a configurable risk decision engine at the center.

1

Collect

Orchestrate identity document capture and liveness checks via the Kycanvas SDK or REST API. Mobile-first design supports consumer and business onboarding flows with configurable step logic.

2

Verify

Authenticate documents, query sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media sources in real time. Receive a structured decision output with pass/review/fail status and a risk score with contributing signals.

3

Monitor

Set ongoing re-screening rules triggered by transaction patterns, periodic intervals, or event-based alerts. Receive webhook notifications when customer risk profiles change — with full audit trail for examiner review.

KYC Verification

Identity verification that converts applicants, not just checks boxes.

Kycanvas runs document authentication, liveness detection, and database checks in a single API call — returning a structured CDD/EDD decision your compliance team can rely on and your regulators can audit.

  • Document authentication: 50+ country government IDs, passports, driver's licenses
  • Active and passive liveness detection with anti-spoofing checks
  • Configurable CDD and EDD risk tiers aligned with FinCEN CDD Rule requirements

AML Screening

Continuous AML screening without the manual queue.

Kycanvas screens every customer against OFAC SDN, UN consolidated, EU, and HMT sanctions lists, plus PEP databases and adverse media sources — at onboarding and on a continuous monitoring schedule you configure.

  • OFAC SDN, UN, EU, and HMT sanctions list screening with sub-second latency
  • PEP screening with domestic and foreign PEP coverage, including relatives and close associates
  • Ongoing monitoring with event-triggered and periodic re-screening options

Neobanks

High-volume consumer onboarding with sub-60 second KYC decisions. BSA/AML program support for FinCEN CDD Rule compliance and OCC/FDIC exam readiness.

What compliance teams are saying

Kycanvas cut our manual KYC review queue by over a third in the first month of the pilot. Our next examiner review will be the first time we walk in with a complete, automated audit trail instead of a spreadsheet.

Head of Compliance, a neobank serving underbanked communities

OFAC screening latency was the blocker for our retail onboarding flow. Kycanvas brings that under 200 milliseconds. We have not had a single false SDN match in 60 days of production use.

As an MSB under state examination, the documentation requirement alone is a significant operational burden. Kycanvas gave us the CDD program documentation we needed in a format examiners actually recognize.

Talk to Mira

We are working with a select cohort of neobanks, crypto platforms, and high-risk fintechs to deploy KYC and AML automation in production. If your compliance team spends more time collecting documents than making decisions, we should talk.
